It is really strange that Fernando passes away on the eve of the first Dodgers-Yankees series since 1981 which he was a star of.
I was just commenting on Night Owl's blog how this card was one of the first "important" rookie cards at the time in the spring of 1981.
Unreal - was the word on the SI cover when, I think Fernando won his first seven starts with complete games without giving up a run or something like that - Unreal.
This reminds me of when Franco Harris died just a few days before the 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception
Unreal
